Voices of Steel

 

Were you a steel worker? Do you know someone who was?

WNED invites Western New Yorkers to share memories and memorabilia
related to the area’s once thriving steel industry
for an upcoming WNED-TV local documentary

VOICES OF STEEL

The goal is to document steelworkers’ reflections about the experience of working in the mills as well as their way of life. Taking a broad perspective, the documentary also will explore the powerful impact of the steel industry and its demise on employees, families and neighborhoods.

“If you were a steelworker or know someone who was, we would like to find out more about your experiences,” said John Grant, WNED’s Chief Program and Production Officer. “We are seeking personal stories, including memories of steelworkers’ families, neighborhood life and plant closings.”

WNED also is looking for photographs and home movies of the actual steel plants, or of families, activities and neighborhoods in the Lackawanna/Buffalo area during the steel-making era and its aftermath.

How to Contribute

Those interested should send information about what they can provide (for example, personal stories, photos, video) to voicesofsteel at yahoo dot com. A representative of WNED’s Production Department will follow up.
